We're coming from lancashire so hoping it will be quiet. Last visit was the weekend before scarefest and the queue for wickerman was the only killer. Looking forward to cbeebies and hopefully a ride on smiler.

I went yesterday - was absolutely dead. Nothing was more than a 5 min queue.
But a few thoughts
- The availability was good, with only Enterprise shut
- The smiler 'Half way' signs need a clean desperately
- A lot of the tv screens are still either broken or damaged
- The rapids felt sufficiently choppy but the waterfalls are still needed.
- The monorail really needs to get rid of the window decals, and are in need of updating - they were already dirty and marked, however the stations look great now they have been painted
- In the smiler queue there were a lot of foot marks on the walls

Basically the smiler isn't the cleanest of rides

I hate not being able to see out the windows on the monorail. Half the fun of going on a travelling ride at a theme park is being able to see some things.

They would probably say that was part of the theming! If you're going all abandoned Soviet interrogation facility, a bit of grime just adds to the atmosphere!
That explains the half arsed theming in dark forest

It's a forest, the trees are the theming.

Agreed. It really feels quite claustrophobic riding the monorail these days and not being able to see out at all. I don't think anything is going to happen but it would be nice to see the wraps either modified or completely replaced so that the windows are once again windows.
Heard a lot of people complaining feeling ill after Spinjam yesterday. Saw a girl who kept falling over afterwards and looked like she was in a mess. And everyone I saw yesterday getting off the ride didn't look great! I personally haven't ridden it but it does look like a very intense ride that very few probably enjoy. Certainly think Mixtape was a better fit, more suitable for a larger demographic

Being discussed in the Restrosquad topic, but yes is does look to be a very intense ride. Definitely the most intense ride in the park now!
Ah ok my bad didn't even know there was a retrosquad topic! I'll have a look nowBeing discussed in the Restrosquad topic, but yes is does look to be a very intense ride. Definitely the most intense ride in the park now!

Looking at BBC Weather, some of the big rides may open late but everything should be open by noon.
Was there today and it was colder than that. Took a while to get the rides going but nearly everything eventually opened. Only thing that didn't was Th13teen
Actually Rita was one of the first rides to open today and was very reliable. I think it's Th13teen that's the problem in that area
